It’s finally here: the long-awaited Casa Amor episode of Love Island USA just aired in Season 8, Episode 17, and the internet is going crazy for the drama.
Casa Amor takes place around the halfway mark of each season of Love Island, and, as its name implies, puts the Islanders to the ultimate test of temptation. Either the boys’ section or the girls’ section of the villa are told to pack their bags and head to Casa Amor, where they will meet and mingle with a new set of bombshells of the other gender.
However, this season of Casa Amor looked a little different. This time, the girls (Aniya, Jen, Kayda, Kenzie, Melanie, and Trinity) were able to watch the boys (KC, Caleb, Zach, Corbin, and Bryce) meet the new bombshells at Casa Amor through a flatscreen TV. It was chaotic, juicy, and at times hard to watch — and social media users were here for the drama.
People said that the girls being able to watch the boys was not only a much-needed boost for an otherwise quiet season of Love Island USA, but also something that the girls needed to see to test their connections.

Unsurprisingly, connections were immediately put to the test, with the boys receiving lap dances and kisses from the six new bombshells (Amora, Parmida, Jaiden, Tierra, Alannah, and Sydney). The girls who remained back at the villa were rethinking their current connections — and so were viewers after watching the boys at Casa Amor.

The boys who stirred the most drama were KC, who is coupled with Aniya, and Corbin, who is coupled with Kenzie.

While some people were fuming for Aniya after watching how enthusiastic KC was with the new bombshells, others were also glad that she was able to rethink her connection.

As for Corbin, he left Kenzie (and the rest of us) stunned when he turned to one of the guys and said that he was going back to the villa with “somebody different.” Kenzie and Corbin had just recoupled after writing love letters to each other in Season 8, Episode 13, so the comment felt especially out-of-pocket.

Melanie was left rethinking her connection with Sincere, who she had also just recoupled with in Season 8, Episode 13. Prior to Casa Amor, she was just telling Aniya how much she liked Sincere and that she thought they were headed towards closing off their connection to others.
People are anticipating that she might act differently towards Sincere once he’s back from Casa Amor…

However, it doesn’t look like all is hope is lost for our girls back at the villa. A preview for the next episode revealed that while KC, Caleb, Zach, Corbin, and Bryce would be getting to know the new bombshells at Casa Amor for the next few days, Aniya, Jen, Kayda, Kenzie, Melanie, and Trinity would be meeting not one, not two, but 12 new bombshells.
There might be trouble in paradise, but at least we can expect some new romance (and potentially new connections) on the island soon.
New episodes premiere daily except Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT on Peacock.
